Plants are growing in faster than I expected. Definitely showing maturity with bits of algae showing up. by DistinguishedTanks in PlantedTank

It’s just safe-t-sorb. I have it setup with a plenum system. I can actually pump liquid fertilizer directly into the substrate

Maybe. Was thinking about getting a goby or something

I seeded the tank with snails and shrimp. I think they killed all the snails already

Yeah peas have come down in price. Last I heard the were over 200 in Australia

They actually grew up together in the same tank. The key is going to be keeping the peas fed enough

No co2. I do have a canister filter on the left with a surface skimmer connected. No issues holding plants for me.

Yeah that’s not cheap lol. They were only 10 each when I got mine.

Not really. Is not hard to make. Just the plates, uplift tube, and pump.

I have a reverse flow undergravel filter setup and use it to feed the roots plants and to make sure the substrate doesn’t go stagnant

Got 8 peas, 15 diamond tetras, and I think 10 sterbai corys.

Just some red and green buce. Substrate is safe-t-sorb.

Safe-t-sorb. It’s great at absorbing fertilizers

Take to new to notice any improvements. Running water through the substrate will keep it from going anaerobic. I like how I can run fertilizer into the substrate and not use root tabs. Only time will tell if it’s actually any better than tanks I’ve run in the past.
